THIS WEEK'S
WORD OF ADMONITION:
Christians must not altogether shun plays just because there are sometimes coarseness and adulteries therein; for such reasons they would have to give up the Bible too!
Martin Luther (1483-1546)
THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“Domestic Realm”
1) The realm where the pastor usurps the authority of the husband/father in the home thereby “ruling over” another man’s wife.
“Wives, be in submission to your own husbands in everything related to
the domestic realm.”
“Pastors” and their “churches” will destroy a person to keep their religious system going.
Jesus will destroy a religious system to recover and build up a person.
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1 Tim. 2:5-6
See the truth come to life!
THIS WEEK'S
"The Pastoral Office"
“..Leave the dead to bury their own dead..” means to go to church,
no matter what!
Why People Don’t See
I believe it was a Catholic theologian who once said, "Give me a child for the first seven years of his life and I will make him a Catholic for life."
There is much more truth to this statement than most of us care to recognize. Those early years are formative years for sure. Yet, they need not be limited to a child.
Unwary adults are also so often susceptible, and in many ways, even more so!
These years, whatever their age, are great opportunities for religious leaders to plant fears that will keep a person in bondage to their particular religious system for life, or keep a person from looking at anything else for fear of being deceived.
This is also a great opportunity to implant concepts which will actually keep someone from ever seeing the Truth, even though the Truth may be right before their very eyes.
When a particular church doctrine is implanted into a person’s mind with vivid graphic pictures, a handful of out-of-context scriptures, add a little fear, shouting and pulpit-pounding, throwing in the phrase “obey your leaders,” and when that same person reads plain Bible texts that say just the opposite, they will NEVER be able to clearly see what is directly in from of them.
They will see the text through the filters that were put on their mind. They will not be able to see the text as it really is.
Mission accomplished!
How so many times I have heard a Scripture read in a “church service” that clearly and completely contradicts one of their main teachings and no one ever comments about the contradiction. How so many times I have heard hymns sung from the church hymnal that speaks blasphemies and yet the people do not hear, they do not see, or really even believe what is said.
There was a time perhaps when they DID asked those hard questions, but when they were rebuked, or ridiculed, or shamed, for asking questions that caused division, they learned not to question anymore.
They learned to go along with the crowd.
The scales over the eyes are so thick that everything including their concept of God and Scripture becomes gross darkness.
But they do not know it is darkness because they have been seeing that way for many, many years.
There has cropped up a Facebook Page entitled,
"Wicked Shepherds."
It posts placards and other items that are taken directly from this official website and has apparently
accumulated a following.

If you cannot defend your theology with Scripture, do you then resort to “quoting the church fathers?”
